Tom Bledsoe’s gun was used to kill Zetta “Camille” Arfmann, of Oskaloosa. His bullets, bought hours before her death, tore through Arfmann’s head and chest.

He confessed to the crime twice to his pastor, and once to police. He told law enforcement exactly where Floyd Bledsoe they could find Arfmann’s body — under piled trash and plywood on the property where he lived with his parents near McLouth.

And, according to recent DNA results pursued by Kansas University’s Paul E. Wilson Project for Innocence, semen consistent with Tom Bledsoe’s DNA was found inside Arfmann’s vagina.

But Tom Bledsoe is not in prison for the crime. His brother, Floyd Bledsoe, is.

Convicted CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Now, attorneys at KU’s Project for Innocence and the Midwest Innocence Project are asking a Jefferson County judge to reverse Floyd Bledsoe’s conviction and set him free in a motion filed Tuesday.

Bledsoe, 38, has been serving a life sentence for more than 15 years for the 1999 shooting death of Arfmann, his then-14year-old sister-in-law.

He was convicted of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and indecent liberties with a child after an April 2000 three-day trial, despite the lack of any physical evidence tying him to the crime. Jefferson County prosecutor Jim Vanderbilt presented just one witness, of 28 total, whose testimony directly linked Bledsoe to Arfmann’s murder — and that was Tom Bledsoe, who was originally charged with the crime after confessing and providing police with the murder weapon, according to Journal-World articles from the time.

Vanderbilt at the time claimed Floyd Bledsoe took the gun from Tom Bledsoe’s pickup truck to kill Arfmann before returning it to its place behind the truck seat. Tom Bledsoe then supposedly put the pistol in a drawer in his bedroom. His father turned the weapon over to police when Tom Bledsoe surrendered.

In September, the KU Project for Innocence received the results of longsought DNA testing on swabs from Arfmann’s body and clothing, revealing that Tom Bledsoe’s DNA was consistent with semen found inside Arfmann and on one of her socks. It also showed that the Bledsoes’ father’s DNA was on one of Arfmann’s socks, consistent with coroner testimony that she was dragged to her gravesite by her ankles.

Vanderbilt never explained how or when Floyd Bledsoe might have taken, then returned, the gun. Incidentally, Vanderbilt gave up his county attorney position in 2003 after the Kansas Court of Appeals overturned another one of his convictions because he failed to file a brief in response to that defendant’s appeal, the Journal-World reported.

Professors at KU’s Project for Innocence took notice of Floyd Bledsoe’s case as soon as the verdict was rendered, said Elizabeth Cateforis, assistant clinical professor at KU. And in 2006, Floyd Bledsoe became one of their clients, with KU law students working on the appeals process and getting involved in investigations.

The group has been seeking additional DNA testing for the case for years. In 2012, a Jefferson County judge allowed the

project to have DNA testing done, but it took more than two years to track down all the evidence from law enforcement and the Kansas Department of Investigations, said Project for Innocence Clinical Professor Jean Phillips.

Over that near decade, countless students have worked on Floyd Bledsoe’s case, Phillips said.

Not only has the project aided Floyd Bledsoe, but it has allowed students to have hands-on experiences they otherwise may not have until they are out in the workforce.

“Students worked on a claim of actual innocence. They got to figure out how to investigate and find witnesses, and determine the evidence they need,” Cateforis said. “It’s a great way to see how criminal justice works, and doesn’t work.”

In 2008, the Project for Innocence even won Floyd Bledsoe a brief release from prison after a federal court decided he was denied his constitutional right of effective counsel. That decision was later overturned on appeal, however.

In addition to tracking down the evidence, Phillips said, about $30,000 in funding had to be raised to have the items tested.

That testing was finally done this year with financing and assistance from the Midwest Innocence Project, a nonprofit corporation that works on litigation and exoneration of the wrongfully convicted in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa and Nebraska.

Cateforis and Phillips said the connection with the Midwest Innocence Project not only helped progress the case but also allowed additional resources for KU Project for Innocence students to do more than they could before. “(The MIP) offered resources we didn’t have before,” Phillips said.

“We need experts, and now we can tap into the Innocence Project network. Student connect to experts and learn how to bring those experts into the court.”

When the results came in September, Cateforis, Phillips, Alice White of the KU Project for Innocence and Tricia Bushnell from MIP got to work on the 33-page motion, filed Tuesday, to vacate Floyd Bledsoe’s conviction and release him from prison.

Phillips and Cateforis said they are in communication with the court and prosecutors to set a hearing date for the motion. At that point, the judge could either ask for evidence to be presented, to hear arguments or issue a ruling. If the judge declines to vacate Floyd Bledsoe’s conviction, Phillips and Cateforis said, they would appeal the decision.

Some Kansas lawmakers are raising objections to Kansas University’s plans to finance its $325 million Central District Development Plan, but they stopped short of putting the entire project on hold Tuesday.

Instead, the Joint Committee on State Building Construction gave tentative approval to the plan, but told KU officials to be ready to answer more questions after the full Legislature convenes its 2016 session in January.

“I just think some of these projects that are wrapped up into this package are circumventing the normal appropriations process,” said Rep. Mark Hutton, R-Wichita. “I have serious concerns about the

longtime colleague of Borchardt. “It was called biotechnology.”

When Borchardt became chairman of the pharmaceutical chemistry department, he looked at the future of the field and shaped ways KU could train students not only for traditional pharmacy jobs but also to work in the emerging biotech industry, Stella explained. “He was instrumental in us adjusting for the times and preparing students.”

This and other achievements by Borchardt, recently retired Solon E. Summerfield Distinguished Professor of pharmaceutical chemistry at KU, inspired a three-day conference in his honor.

“A Tribute to Ronald T. Borchardt — Teacher, Mentor, Scientist, Colleague, Leader and Friend” kicked off Wednesday evening with a crowd of about 200 at the KU School of Pharmacy building for a keynote address by John Martin, chairman and CEO of Gilead Sciences — a fastgrowing biopharmaceutical company known for its hepatitis C drug, Sovaldi, as well as Tamiflu and several HIV-fighting drugs.

Martin, too, knew Borchardt’s research and called him an influence on his career since getting to know

The drafted letter also urges KDOT to make the expansion a priority, stating the completion of the fourlane South Lawrence Trafficway may cause problems with traffic volumes and safety on the western leg of two-lane K-10.

The eastern leg of the SLT is estimated to be complete in fall 2016.

“One of the things is, it’s a four-lane, 70 mph roadway that is going to go into a two-lane road,” Mayor Mike Amyx said. “I think it is smart in looking at upgrades there.”

The City Commission approved the recommendations — which had already been OK’d by county commissioners — at its meeting Tuesday. Its approval allows Amyx to sign the letter along with Jim Flory, chairman of the Douglas County Commission.

Amyx said it was “extremely important” that the city and county present a united front.

“We have received a lot of public comment about these items,” Amyx said.

“Let’s face it, as we look at the items listed in the letter we have going, they’re important to our community and county. We believe that a strong statement from the both of us gives us that opportunity to express our feelings.”

Hutton raised those concerns after KU officials outlined their plans for financing several projects in the district.

Jim Modig, university architect at KU, said projects in the district include an integrated science building to replace the aging Mallott Hall; revamping the Burge Union; construction of a central utility plant and improvements to the existing plant; new parking facilities; new apartment buildings; a residence hall and dining facility; and other infrastructure improvements.

him in the early 1980s.

Stella said the conference was envisioned to focus on Borchardt’s career and contributions, and also to reunite past and present KU scientists in a venue where they could share updates on their work in the field.

Science-wise, Borchardt was a “principal driver” of a new area of research in the pharmacy field that used cell culture techniques to look at how drugs are absorbed in the body, Stella said. That new technique helped Stella — who invented or co-invented dozens of patents that led to drugs for treating epilepsy, cancer and AIDS — solve problems in his own work, he said, and its influence was expected to be highlighted by other speakers at the conference as well.

Leadership-wise, Stella credited Borchardt with helping KU’s pharmaceutical chemistry department survive through a transitional period, and grow.

In opening comments for the conference, Dean of Pharmacy Ken Audus praised Borchardt’s role in graduate education and, particularly, global education, which Audus said would be one of the professor’s “legacies.”

In the mid-1990s, Audus said, Borchardt saw that students were entering a globalized industry and many would likely spend part of their careers abroad. Knowing it would

be important to start exposing students early to science at the international level, Borchardt founded the Globalization of Pharmaceutics Education Network, or GPEN. The nonprofit GPEN began in 1996 with 10 schools from across the globe with strong pharmaceutics programs and has since grown to 52 members and is officially affiliated with and housed at KU, Audus said.

Borchardt also was praised as a mentor and friend, and current and former students and colleagues donated more than $1.8 million to establish the Ronald T. Borchardt Professorship honoring him.

The School of Pharmacy announced in September that Distinguished Professor David Volkin, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, was chosen for the new professorship.

The Borchardt tribute lecture is scheduled to continue today and Friday at Theatre Lawrence, with lectures by scientists from KU and other universities, talks by industry representatives, poster sessions and a panel discussion.

Borchardt technically retired in May from KU, where he worked more than 44 years. He told the Journal-World at the time that he hoped to have more time for family but continue to be professionally active — an ability he called “one of the nice things about academic life.”

K-10 to the standards of a four-lane freeway from the Kansas Turnpike interchange west of Lawrence to the U.S. Highway 59 interchange to the south, offering a seamless connection between I-70 and Interstate 435 in the Kansas City area.

KDOT officials want to complete a concept study report in December, but there is no set timeline for the project. Officials told city commissioners at a September meeting it may take years before KDOT has the funding for the changes.

KDOT has provided a list of alternatives for major points of the project, all of which the city and county address in their recommendations.

The option commissioners suggested for the link between K-10, I-70 and the Farmers Turnpike was creating a system-to-system interchange, allowing for free-flow movement between K-10 and I-70.

As is, that option calls for implementing tolls, but commissioners want it to remain toll-free.

“It just absolutely should remain toll-free,” Amyx said. “Talking with people in the Lecompton area, it only makes sense.”

According to a KDOT proposal, the system-bysystem interchange is more expensive and complex than the other option, which calls for creating a separate interchange at Lecompton Road where the Farmers Turnpike could be accessed.

Those traveling from Lecompton to K-10 would

use I-70 or other local roads, the proposal states.

With the Clinton Parkway interchange, commissioners wanted to keep it open out of concern that — if it were closed — heavy traffic would be pushed onto Bob Billings Parkway, Amyx said.

The city received a petition Oct. 19 from Warren Corman, president of the Quail Pointe at Alvamar neighborhood, stating he and other representatives from more than a dozen homeowners associations and neighborhoods came together to oppose clogging the Clinton Parkway interchange.

Bob Billings Parkway is already “unnecessarily dangerous,” the letter states, and increased traffic on the street would “exacerbate the existing dangerous conditions for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicle drivers.”

City and county commissioners also suggested closing the Kasold Drive/East 1200 Road intersection; creating a new K-10 interchange east of Wakarusa; and having K-10 fly over Wakarusa.

KDOT is hosting an informational open house Oct. 29 to present the preferred alternatives and receive feedback. The meeting is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. at the Southwest Middle School cafeteria, 2511 Inverness Drive.

Planners will then review comments from the meeting and perform necessary technical analysis needed to complete a concept study report.

Topeka — The Kansas Bureau of Investigation will soon open a new crime laboratory that looks like it could be used as the set of a new TV crime drama.

In fact, the $55 million facility on the campus

of Washburn University in Topeka will be able to handle all of the same kinds of scientific crime analyses that have become familiar to viewers of shows such as “CSI.” That includes everything from fingerprint and tire-track analysis to DNA matching, chemical and biological analysis,

ballistics and even “digital forensics,” which involves studying the contents of computer hard drives, cellphones and other mobile devices.

In fact, said T.L. Price, assistant lab director who served as project manager during construction of the new lab, digital forensics is now

The “Hot in Cleveland” star, also famous for her roles on “The Golden Girls” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” is one of the few remaining television legends whose career predates the medium. White was a staple of radio during the mid and late 1940s, b e f o r e televisions had become the most important piece of furniture in America’s living rooms.

Is Pitbull a music sensation or a marketing phenomenon?

Does it matter? CNBC, the business news channel, believes that Pitbull, born Armando Christian Perez, is worthy of an hourlong profile because he is “rewriting the blueprint for business success in entertainment.”

“Pitbull: Fame & Fortune” (9 p.m.) shows how the Miamibased, Cuban-American entertainer has parlayed music success into endorsements for a vodka brand, restaurants and even his own fragrance. Corporations have used him as an entry into America’s Latin market. His outsized presence earned him the attention of People en Español, which named him the Most Influential Latino of 2015.

Correspondent Michelle Caruso-Cabrera travels with the entertainer from one musical engagement and business meeting to another. She squeezes in time for interviews about the changing face of the Latin market.

Pitbull discusses presidential candidate Donald Trump’s many utterances about immigrants and says they are “very offensive and disrespectful to our culture.” Apparently, the geniuses who run CNBC’s sister network NBC aren’t listening. “Saturday Night Live” has invited Trump to host the comedy show on Nov. 7.

Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our mid-70s and have no children.

However, we have had pets, mostly cats, for all of our 50 years together.

About 13 years ago, we bought an 8-weekold female Boston terrier puppy. A few months later a friend called us about a female Boston terrier that he could not keep and offered it to us.

We ended up keeping it.

We loved them both like they were our children. They rarely barked, got along great with adult and child visitors and loved being in the car. They were the best pets we ever had. About a month ago, Spunky died in her sleep. It was devastating to lose her. Then, two weeks later, Petunia died. We are truly heartbroken.

When the new lab opens next month, it will replace one located in the basement of a converted school building in central Topeka. Price said when

The burns were on the girl’s chest and neck, her mother, Wendy Armenta, told the Baldwin City Signal, which is owned

by The World Company, which also owns the Journal-World.

Armenta initially declined an offer from the Lawrence-Douglas County emergency responders to take her daughter to the hospital. But later, she noticed how red her daughter’s skin was and took her to Children’s Mercy Hospital for treatment.

She was treated for the burns and a cut on her head that required two or three stitches and released, Armenta said.

A photograph of the girl on Facebook shows what looks to be a bad sunburn across her chest and neck.

Halon is a liquified, compressed gas that stops the spread of fire and is so cold it can cause frostbite, said Dr. Jennifer Lowry, section chief of toxicology at Children’s Mercy.

There are several types of Halon gas, and they all can be irritating to the skin, Lowry said.

The EPA banned the manufacture of Halon gas in 1994 because of the effects on the Earth’s ozone, according to the EPA’s online regulatory program guidance. But the EPA does allow the use of certain existing stores of Halon blends.

The three gas canisters are required to be in the vehicle to put out electrical fires, Bauman said.

The Lawrence 2nd that facility opened in the 1980s, it employed only 19 investigators.

Today, the Topeka lab employs more than 60 people, but KBI officials said there is literally no room for them to grow any more.

“What we are leaving is a space that really didn’t meet our accreditation standards,” KBI Director Kirk Thompson said. “It had no space for our scientists to work individually. They had to wait for instruments; they had to wait for space. What this facility will do is let us be much more efficient in how we move, how we do our work, how we store evidence and how we process all of our evidence.”

Price said the new facility was built from the ground up for the sole purpose of being a crime lab, and every element of the building is engineered for that purpose.

tainability office asked commissioners to extend the moratorium, which would have expired this December, to allow them more time to better understand the area’s need for zoning regulations for any future developments, said Eileen Horn, the county’s sustainability coordinator.

The moratorium was initially put into effect beginning of December, is designed — in case it wasn’t obvious — to encourage walking.

“Lawrence is a great city for walking, especially around KU’s campus and downtown, but people often drive short distances that could easily be walked instead,” Ward Lyles, assistant professor of urban planning at KU, said in the news release.

“We intend for these signs to contribute to and advance the growing conversation about making Lawrence even more pedestrian-friendly.”

when the county found its regulations for wind development operations needed to be better defined after a renewable energy development company applied to install wind towers in November 2013, Horn said.

With commissioners all in agreement, the moratorium was extended through July 2016.

Horn said the sustain-

ability office will use the extra six months to further define what regulations might be set forth.

The office hopes to accomplish several things before July 2016: l Develop a two-tier system for regulating wind towers and turbines. That system would differentiate between small turbines for personal or small commer-

cial use and large commercial wind farm projects. l Better define an application process in cooperation with the city of Lawrence for companies looking to develop wind energy projects in the area. l Specify any geographic restrictions that might be applied to wind energy projects.

—This is an excerpt from Sara Shepherd’s Heard on the Hill column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

Combined Arms Battalion 137th Infantry Regiment has troops who oversee a display of military equipment at the festival each year.

Early Saturday, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department escorted the Bradley vehicle from Lawrence to Baldwin City, where it was used in the Maple Leaf parade.

The Bradley has two compartments, the front hatch where the driver sits and the back compartment where troops can ride.

Armenta said she and her daughter went to the festival after church Sunday.

Armenta was standing next to the Bradley vehicle when she heard two explosions and saw her daughter being carried out from the back of the vehicle through a haze of smoke.

The girl was screaming, her mother said.

Military personnel and medical responders calmed the girl. One guardsman asked her if she had pushed a button on the canister, Armenta said.

After declining transportation to the hospital, Armenta took her daughter to her adult son’s home nearby and bathed her. At that point she took her to the hospital.

Bauman said the vehicle was powered down while it was on display at the festival over the weekend. “We are not sure why this canister discharged,” Bauman said. “There was no obvious reason why it should have discharged.

It shouldn’t have happened by all normal operations.”

Positive plan Preliminary plans portray an inviting and energized renovation for Ninth Street east of downtown.

I

t’s nice to see plans to rejuvenate East Ninth Street starting to take shape.

This week, Lawrence city commissioners got their first look at — and their first opportunity to comment on — preliminary concepts for the sevenblock area east of Massachusetts Street.

The project’s design team plans to add commissioners’ input to other feedback it has gathered on the project, which is intended to integrate public art with a new street design.

One topic of discussion at Tuesday’s commission meeting was the idea of narrowing the two driving lanes on Ninth Street to provide space for bicycle lanes, wider sidewalks, green space and a few gathering areas. Renderings in the preliminary plan show a lot of pedestrian and bicycle traffic in a parklike corridor. It’s an inviting prospect that would seem to be a real asset for Lawrence.

There are, of course, some concerns.

Commissioner Leslie Soden said she wasn’t in favor of narrowing the street in any part of the corridor and expressed concern that some of the proposed gathering spots were too close to private property. Keeping the driving lanes at their current width would seriously limit the pedestrian, bicycle and artistic uses envisioned for this area. While it’s important to protect the handful of private residences located in the corridor, there seem to be several spots that could easily accommodate small gathering spaces.

A number of East Lawrence residents are worried about the impact the proposed arts corridor will have on their neighborhood and have suggested measures such as establishing an “urban conservation overlay district” that creates a specific zoning district to protect the area. Pairing zoning and land use actions with creation of the arts corridor might build neighborhood support for the project, but Mayor Mike Amyx said he wanted to keep the two issues separate. Either way, city officials should give serious and timely consideration to zoning and land-use measures that protect the character of the neighborhood.

The people working on the East Ninth Project seem to be working hard to develop a plan that will enhance the corridor east of downtown in ways that will be an asset for both East Lawrence and the rest of the community. Judging by the concepts presented this week, they seem to be on the right track.

Ubiquitous porn makes Playboy passe I used to love Playboy magazine.

And yes, it was mainly for the articles. But I wasn’t exactly repulsed by the pictures.

You may find that an odd admission for an avowed feminist, but I’ve always felt the argument over the sexual objectification of women tends to miss an important point. Namely, that sexuality is a part of life — indeed, one of the best parts. So what’s wrong is not presenting women as objects of allure. What’s wrong is behaving as if women can only be objects of allure, as if they have no value beyond that expressed by face and form.

All that said, I’ve been trying to figure out how I feel about the recent news that Playboy, which pioneered the so-called “sophisticated” men’s magazine, will soon stop publishing nude photos of women. Beginning in March, its models will be scantily clad, but clad nevertheless. It feels not unlike hearing that Disney World has fired Mickey Mouse or McDonald’s has stopped selling Big Macs: a famous brand jettisoning the very thing for which it is most famous, the thing by which it is defined.

It’s been 20 years or more

Leonard Pitts Jr.

lpitts@miamiherald.com

At another level, however, Playboy’s woes and its response to same present an interesting snapshot of a culture that, sexually speaking, pushed the envelope until it tore.” since I was even a semiregular reader of Hugh Hefner’s magazine. Apparently, I’m not the only one to fall away. In the ’70s, when I first picked up Playboy, it claimed a circulation north of 5.5 million. That number has reportedly withered to about 800,000.

At one level, then, this is just a new iteration of an old story: the decline of print. Jet magazine disappeared from newsstands last year. Newsweek’s print edition died — then was resurrected. Many once-robust newspapers now

resemble pamphlets.

At another level, however, Playboy’s woes and its response to same present an interesting snapshot of a culture that, sexually speaking, pushed the envelope until it tore. At its founding in 1953, after all, Playboy was revolutionary, a frank celebration of carnal pleasures in the Eisenhower era, when Lucy and Ricky were forced to sleep in separate beds and couldn’t say “pregnant” on TV. Years before Elvis scandalized America by wiggling his hips, there was Hefner presenting screen goddess Marilyn Monroe, posing starkers and coquettish on red velvet.

In those stodgy and repressed years, this carried significance beyond mere titillation.

But yes, it also carried titillation, and 62 years later, Playboy has been swallowed by its own revolution, swamped by its own tsunami. As CEO Scott Flanders told The New York Times, “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free, and so it’s just passe at this juncture.”

In other words, if Playboy was born in an era of repression, it has reached its AARP years in a sexual Wild West of free and easy pornography that makes its

airbrushed perfection of breasts and backsides feel quaint and anachronistic.

More to the point, it is an era wherein the commodification of the feminine form is ubiquitous, the double entendre has become, for some, one entendre too many to bother with, and sex is everywhere all the time, often tiresomely so.

One doesn’t feel liberated from sexual repression — that battle is over. One doesn’t even feel titillated. One simply feels numb. You want to say, “OK, I get it! Insert Tab A into Slot B, and it feels pretty good. But then what?”

That unanswered “what” is the whole world outside of sex. There is one, you know, though sometimes, watching television or surfing the Net, you might forget.

For all its undeniable success in forcing a more honest appraisal of, and appreciation for, human sexuality, Hefner’s magazine also seems the living embodiment of the axiom about being careful what you wish for. Sixty-two years later, we are living in a world Playboy made, and if anyone is having trouble doing that, take heart: Apparently, Playboy’s having trouble with it, too.

PUBLIC FORUM

Downtown blend To the editor: Looking toward a historic church a few blocks east of a local coffee shop, I wondered if the new buildings near Ninth and New Hampshire fit into the context of Lawrence. Discussing them with friends and colleagues, we have wondered about the neo-histrionic 901 New Hampshire while it turns a blind eye toward the south with no windows or solar panels for renewable energy. We also wonder about the renewable energy aspects of the “transformer-like” small hotel that seems to want to spring forward into a new movie character.

As a past Historic Resources commissioner, and former board member of Lawrence Preservation Alliance, I hope that many of you become more involved in the approval process of these radical changes to the fabric of downtown Lawrence. For comparison the new library and its institutional horizontality blend in very well next to the modern post office and nearby commercial neighbors.

Next up? The comparatively gigantic proposal slammed up against the 1871 Lucy Hobbs Taylor home at 809 Vermont, a National Register of Historic Landmarks site.

Sven Alstrom, Lawrence

Safety first To the editor: On Friday, Oct. 2, my husband and I went to watch the Lawrence High School Homecoming Parade. We look forward to sharing traditional activities like that with our grandchildren. When the parade started, we were first puzzled and then concerned when traffic (cars and semi-trucks) continued to flow in the northbound lanes while the kids marched in the southbound lanes. When our granddaughter walked by with the volleyball team, the only thing separating her from the ongoing traffic was the lane dividing line painted on the street. One misstep on her part or the loss of concentration of one driver could have easily resulted in a tragic accident.

I don’t know who is responsible for how parades are handled, but I do have a question for that person: What were you thinking? The parade lasted for a grand total of 15

minutes. What’s more important: 15 minutes of inconvenience for northbound traffic or the safety of our young people? Obviously, people who were expecting to use the southbound lanes found an alternative route.

The parade participants were throwing candy to the kids in the crowd. In order for the kids on the east side of the street to get any candy, they had to dash in front of oncoming cars. Safe? I don’t think so.

Tradition is important to Lawrence. A lot of people have spent a lot of time and money preserving our downtown. We also need to make sure we carry those traditions out in a way that is safe for all of our citizens.

Diane Weber, Lawrence.

Touchy subjects To the editor: I see Mr. Getz would like to suggest that some subjects in letters to the editor be suppressed (Public Forum, Oct. 17). I thought of a few other subjects I’d like to add to the list: environmental warming, LGBT issues and football.

Larry Miller, Lawrence

Too busy?

To the editor: In the Oct. 15 edition of The New York Times, Jamie Shew, the county clerk for Douglas County, said the Kansas requirement to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote “disproportionately hits 18- to 24-year-olds.” “They’re busy, and this is just one more thing to do,” he added.

These young Kansans certainly are busy.

According to the 2015 U.S. Mobile App Report, U.S. app users aged 18-24 spend an average of 90.6 hours per month on smartphone apps. According to a 2015 Nielsen audience report, these 18- to 24-year-olds also watch television an average of over 95 hours per month, and their over-the-top viewing (film and TV content via the Internet) is an average of nearly 16 hours per month.

Where in the world would they find an hour or two to provide proof of citizenship?

Kevin Groenhagen, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 22, 1915: years “Upon the rear ago of the lot at 818 IN 1915 Tennessee street stands a dwelling bearing all the appearance of antiquity of the modern type. It was built before the Civil War, probably by a man named Flynn, but that probability is not established as fact. But that it antedates the war is certain.

Mrs. Jane R. Oliver, 900 Tennessee, remembers distinctly that the house spoken of was where it is now in July, 1860, when she and her husband came to Lawrence.... In the early days it faced the alley, a peculiarity due to the lay of the ground and the proximity upon the front of a deep ravine, which was the upper reach of the ravine that now extends longitudinally through Central Park. Upon this lot Frank S. Hester will soon erect a sixroom modern cottage, and the obliteration of another landmark of the early days of Lawrence will be complete.”

“Work on the interurban line which is being built toward Lawrence from Kansas City may be somewhat delayed because of a scarcity of available labor, according to reports given by men who are in touch with the situation. The work on the line is proceeding steadily, but slowly, and rails are now laid about half way from Bonner Springs to Linwood. About twenty-five men are at work on the line between Locust street in North Lawrence and the bridge at Mud Creek, by which the interurban line will cross both the creek and the Union Pacific railroad track.

“The outdoor concerts given by the First Regiment band throughout the summer have been discontinued because the nights are now a little too cool for people to attend. But though the outdoor appearances of the organization have ended for the season the members are as busy as ever. They are practicing up on new programs which will be given when the return of summer again makes the outdoor concerts possible.... On account of the unsettled weather in the spring, the concerts did not begin till June 10th. Fifteen concerts were given in the city parks....

A quartett of saxophones has been added, but there is still room for more. There are some good musicians here who do not belong to any organization.

The band invites these people to join them.”

8-1 to have Ramirez draw up a contract. Board member Allen Belot abstained, stating he had questions about the program that hadn’t been answered.

“I have a heart,” Belot said. “Growing up in a family with an attorney, I’m just nervous.”

Belot cited concerns that a draft contract contained wording that the agreement would be automatically renewed annually. He also said there was “no tangible way to find out if we got any return on investment.”

As part of the agreement, LMH would make an annual donation of $100,000 to the KU Endowment Association. That money would then go to the law school to pay for a staff attorney who would run the program.

If approved next month, the funding would be put into the hospital’s 2016 budget.

“It concerns me to spend money on something that gives us no rate of return in a time of failing revenues,” he said. “I don’t think we’ve had enough discussion on this.”

In response, Bullock said the idea was not a new one.

He noted the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership and a study that found that a similar agreement in Southern Illinois helped hospitals recover health care dollars.

In their motion Wednesday, board members asked that progress be tracked and that they receive a report six months after the program begins.

The board also discussed the importance of an existing clause that would allow

LMH to opt out of the program, as long as LMH gives six months’ notice.

Also included in the contract will be protections against law students helping patients sue LMH or its physicians, Ramirez said.

The staff attorney and students involved in the program would have their own office space at an LMH facility. Bullock said four to eight students would be involved each year.

The KU law school already has a medical-legal agreement in place with KU Medical Center.

Gene Meyer, president and CEO of LMH, said the hospital “should be a leader in community health” and that “this type of program can continue to show our leadership.”

Rob Chestnut, chairman of the board, said the program would meet what he thinks will be a growing demand for assistance in receiving health insurance coverage.

“We’re entering into an age in health care where there’s going to be a lot of people getting displaced from traditional insurance,” Chestnut said. “What I see is that it’s not only going to be the neediest people in our community, but over the next five to 10 years a lot of people are going to be in transition searching for health care. Where are they going to go? A lot of them are going to figure it out, but a lot of them are going to need help.”

Lawrence Memorial Hospital leaders voted Wednesday to move forward with a partnership that would allow patients to receive free legal assistance.

The nine-member board of trustees asked that the hospital’s legal counsel, Andrew Ramirez, work on an agreement with the Kansas University law school in which students would work with in-need patients.

A contract will be brought to the board’s November meeting for final consideration, and hospital leaders are aiming to start the program in early 2016.

“The point is to provide an additional service to our neediest population — our community members who are low-income and don’t have access to those resources,” said board member John Bullock, an attorney at the law firm Stevens & Brand. “Many may not realize there’s a legal dimension to their health issues. It gives us an opportunity to help.”

The agreement calls for KU law students, led by a KU staff attorney and independent of LMH, to assist patients having problems with health insurance coverage, such as senior citizens who are wrongfully denied benefits.

Another example given by the board was helping patients who live in housing that’s not kept to sanitary codes and may have caused illness or exacerbated existing health conditions.

NOW THAT BIDEN’S BOWED OUT, CLINTON STRENGTHENS GRIP She can reinforce her status as Dem front-runner Heidi M Przybyla USA TODAY

It may be remembered as the moment when Hillary Clinton’s grip on the Democratic nomination became firm.

Vice President Biden’s decision not to challenge her front-runner status clears the way for Clinton to shore up support from 2016 primary voters who viewed him as a better alternative — but who are unlikely to support Sen. Bernie Sanders, the self-described Democratic socialist from Vermont.

In a statement after Biden’s announcement, Clinton credited Biden with helping to save the auto industry and pulling the economy back from the brink of depression: “It’s a record to be proud of, defend and build on. And I am confident that history isn’t finished with Joe Biden.”

Clinton called Biden a “good

“And if I know Joe, he will always be on the front lines, always fighting for all of us,” she said.

In his speech, Biden did not endorse Clinton.

That’s unlikely to stop Biden’s would-be voters from lining up behind Clinton, said Julian Zelizer, a U.S. politics expert at Princeton University.

“She’s been waiting for the allsystems go. Without Biden running, she can now concentrate all her firepower on co-opting Bernie Sanders’ message and focusing voter attention on the fact that she’s the one who can defeat the Republican nominee,’’ Zelizer said.

Senators push to fence in drones to keep them in check Software similar to electronic pet collars Bart Jansen @ganjansen USA TODAY

An analysis of 891 drone sightings reported to the Federal Aviation Administration over a 17-month period found more than half flew too close to an airport, prompting lawmakers to renew calls Wednesday to tag the remote-controlled aircraft with electronic collars that would keep them away.

WASHINGTON

Sens. Dianne Feinstein, DCalif., and Charles Schumer, DN.Y., want “geofencing” software that works like electronic collars for pets to keep drones from wandering in front of passenger planes. FAA reports from April 1, 2014, through Aug. 20, 2015, indicate 248 drones came within 500 feet of a passenger plane.

The FAA says hobbyists should fly drones no higher than 400 feet, away from other aircraft and at least 5 miles from an airport unless they have permission from air-traffic controllers. FAA reports show the most violations in California with 182, Florida with 103, New York with 89, Texas

potential for collisions. The U.S. Forest Service also grounded firefighting flights periodically this summer after pilots noticed drones flying near them as high as 10,000 feet.

Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, a former US Airways captain who landed a jet safely on the Hudson River in 2009 after a collision with geese shut down his engines, said he’s worried about “the explosion in reports of drones being flown dangerously close to airports and airplanes, and at alarmingly high altitudes.”

The Academy of Model Aeronautics, which represents 180,000 hobbyists, has raised questions about the pilot reports to FAA, saying birds and balloons were sometimes mistaken for drones. Pilots rarely reported close calls or taking evasive action, the group said.

Boxer said.

Biden made his announcement a day before Clinton was to testify before a House committee investigating the terrorist attacks in 2012 in Benghazi, Libya. It could be a critical moment in her campaign.

Biden said he concluded that time had run out to mount a credible bid. National polls show Clinton remains the strong favorite, holding at least a 20-point lead over Sanders in many polls.

She’s erased Sanders’ advantage in the one state where he led her, according to a new survey out of New Hampshire.

Jim Manley, a Democratic strategist and former aide to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, said on Fox News that Biden “had no money. He had no fundraising.

He had no political operation.”

Biden made clear he was not declining a run to clear a path for Clinton.

In addition to expressing his plan to remain engaged in the political process, Biden appeared to jab at Clinton for comments she made at the debate last week about Republicans being her enemies.

“I don’t think we should look at Republicans as our enemies.

They are our opposition. They’re not our enemies,” he said.

Former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell, a Democrat, said any bitterness between Biden and his supporters and the Clinton campaign is unlikely to linger. On Twitter, Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said Clinton called Biden after his announcement.

“I don’t think Joe will keep it up, if it was his intention,’’ Rendell said on MSNBC. “He knows that Hillary Clinton’s going to be the nominee’’ and “preserve the Obama-Biden legacy.”

There was just no political space for the vice president to get in, he said.

“I’m not sure he had the heart for what essentially had to become a very personal campaign,” Rendell said.

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

Virtual reality, robots for 2045 v CONTINUED FROM 1B

that could photograph the news.

And much of our imagined home technology — voice-activated appliances, flat-screen televisions and videoconferencing — is reality.

Of course, we got a lot wrong.

Thankfully, we don’t have fax terminals in every room. Food hydrators are non-existent, our fashion predictions were way off, and we don’t have fusion energy devices. We completely missed the smartphone, perhaps the most transformative device in the past 30 years. And flying cars? No, we didn’t seriously think they’d exist today, but then, we weren’t trying to be serious.

For this edition, I was asked to again predict life 30 years in the future. I hope I’ll be around to see what I get right.

In 2045, people will own fewer things. This is already happening through media cloud storage and the sharing economy. Improved rideshare apps will make it easier to function without owning a car, and public self-driving cars in our business districts will accelerate that trend.

As virtual reality makes it simpler to work from home, there will be fewer cars on the road, less wear on our infrastructure but less revenue from car and gasoline taxes. So our govern-

ments will find new ways to tax us and “feed the beast.”

Virtual reality will allow people to be comfortable in smaller living spaces and will also lead to some interesting developments in the sex industry (Google “virtual reality sex” to see what I mean). Our birthrate will continue declining, but there will be fewer jobs necessary to run society.

A fast-food restaurant will be operated by just two people, and some of that food will be soy, processed to taste like chicken and beef. Cashiers will be a thing of the past because transactions will be made via smartphone, and meals will be prepared and packaged by robots. Already, store checkers are being replaced by self checkout, and both they and restaurant waiters will become endangered species. Advanced robots will handle almost all factory and warehouse labor, and consumers will manufacture smaller items in their own homes with 3-D printers.

By 2045, robotic systems will construct buildings and roads.

And the most important job in society will be “repair person.”

We’ll have “Google MD,” a system using biometrics and data crunching to diagnose us from our own homes — a good thing, given an aging population and a likely shortage of doctors. We’ll

have less privacy, but people won’t care because, as a defense mechanism, they’ll be less judgmental and have less shame.

Although I still don’t expect flying cars, we’ll have hoverboard parks, similar to today’s skateparks.

Finally, the people of 2045 will be nostalgic about life 30 years ago and wish for a DeLorean Time Machine to experience the simpler life of 2015.

Netanyahu sparks Holocaust controversy Israeli prime minister says Muslim leader wanted to kill Jews

GETTY IMAGES

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday.

John Bacon USA TODAY

Controversy swirled Wednesday over Benjamin Netanyahu’s contentious remarks about the Holocaust as the Israeli prime minister prepared to meet U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Germany.

The German government dismissed comments by Netanyahu blaming a Muslim elder for the Holocaust. “All Germans know the history of the murderous race mania of the Nazis that led to the break with civilization that was the Holocaust,” Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert said. “We know that responsibility for this crime against humanity is German and very much our own.”

Netanyahu, at the World Zionist Congress in Israel on Tuesday, said Hitler “didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews.”

Netanyahu said Haj Amin alHusseini, a Muslim Palestinian leader at the time told Hitler “If you expel them, they’ll all come here.” The two met in November 1941. Netanyahu tried to clarify his comments Wednesday. He said Hitler was responsible for the Holocaust, but al-Husseini encouraged him and also wanted to see the Jews dead.

Freedom Caucus backs Ryan without endorsing Boehner confident support will be there

Rep. Paul Ryan has not yet been able to secure an official endorsement from House conservatives for his bid for speaker, despite winning a majority of support from the arch-conservative Freedom Caucus.

“I think Paul is going to get the support that he is looking for,” House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday after a meeting of House Republicans. Boehner announced that Republicans will choose a new speaker next week.

After a meeting with the Freedom Caucus on Wednesday, Ryan shrugged off questions about whether he had won the group’s endorsement.

“We had a nice meeting, a good chat,” Ryan said.

Members of the Freedom Caucus said later Wednesday that it is supporting Ryan, but held off on an official endorsement because it couldn’t muster the 80% agreement such an announcement would require, the Associated Press reported.

Ryan said Tuesday he will run for the top leadership job if he gets support of all GOP factions.

The Wisconsin Republican gave his colleagues until Friday to decide whether they can back him.

dozens of instances of rockthrowing, windshield shattering and firebombing carried out by Palestinian teens, have left them feeling frightened and vulnerable.

Gil Schecter, a Jewish father of four whose apartment complex is across the street from several single-family Jabel Mukaber homes, said frustration is no excuse for violence. He recalled how teenagers from Jabel Mukaber threw Molotov cocktails at his home on the night of July 31.

Schecter said his children, ages 4 to 17, “no longer play outside or ride on buses for fear of being knifed.”

This month, a 13-year-old Arab boy knifed a 13-year-old Jewish boy riding a bicycle.

In Jabel Mukaber, Sourghi said he has “good relations” with Jews, Christians and Muslims despite the violence and fundamental split over land rights. “We all have one God,” he said. “There are extremists on the Palestinian side and the Israeli side.”

IN BRIEF OBAMA TO PITCH PROGRAM TO COMBAT DRUG ABUSE

President Obama said Wednesday that the government and the public must work together to confront an epidemic of drug abuse that is claiming more and more lives.

Heroin and prescription drugs are primary culprits in a crisis that has hurt and killed Americans from all walks of life, Obama said during an anti-drug event in Charleston, W.Va. Obama outlined a plan that includes better training for doctors and other health care professionals to handle drug abusers and easier access for treatment. The administration is also launching a media advertising campaign designed to make people aware of the dangers of heroin and abuse of prescription drugs.

— David Jackson COALITION CALLS FOR END TO MASS INCARCERATION

A coalition of police chiefs and prosecutors Wednesday called for an end to mass incarceration and

alternatives to mandatory minimum sentencing laws that have swept up scores of non-violent offenders and have driven public prison budgets to the breaking point.

The officials, including Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy and Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland, represent a potentially powerful alliance that is seeking a dramatic reversal of a generation of harsh criminal justice policies.

The central message of the newly formed group tracks recent moves by a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers and the Obama administration to overhaul the U.S. criminal justice system, targeting sentencing policies that have condemned non-violent offenders to decades in overcrowded prisons.

Facebook hoax concerns deer hunters

PENNSYLVANIA Philadelphia:

Brian Broom

Police are investigating after an elementary school student found a bag of nearly three dozen bullets on the floor of her classroom.

WCAU-TV reported that police still don’t know who the bullets belong to or how they got there.

The (Jackson) Clarion-Ledger

A hoax circulating on Facebook prompted phone calls to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks (MDWFP) and raised concerns about a disease outbreak in the deer herd.

The fake news story appears to have originated from the website prank.link where users can create prank news links that are posted to Facebook.

In this case, it includes a picture of three white-tailed deer with a headline that says, “2015 Mississippi Deer Season Cancelled.” Below that, it reads, “Deer Season in Mississippi cancelled due to ...”

A similar fake post claims the cancellation was caused by an outbreak of hemorrhagic disease. When the post is clicked the viewer is taken to prank.link and notified, “You Got Owned!”

While it would appear to be an obvious prank, the post led some hunters to contact MDWFP wanting to know if it was true and if hemorrhagic disease was the cause.

“Friday and Monday we did receive a lot of calls on that Facebook post,” MDWFP Wildlife Bureau assistant director Chris McDonald said. “We have received some phone calls about an outbreak of hemorrhagic disease.”

According to McDonald, a widespread outbreak of hemorrhagic disease, or blue tongue ILLINOIS Naperville: Folks can wax nostalgic for the days when shoppers could hear about getting “it all at a great Kmart price” while listening to Air Supply, Toto and instrumental remakes of popular tunes, the Naperville Sun reported.

A hoax has some Mississippi hunters concerned there is an outbreak of hemorrhagic disease in the deer population. as it’s typically called, is false. In fact, McDonald said there have been fewer cases of blue tongue this year than normal.

“It has not been a bad year for hemorrhagic disease because it’s been so dry,” McDonald said. “Compared to other years, this has been a slow one for hemorrhagic disease.”

McDonald explained that hemorrhagic disease is spread by insects that bite deer. But the insects depend on water to mature and there hasn’t been a lot of it this summer and fall when the disease is more common.

“It causes internal bleeding, hence the word hemorrhagic,”

Berkshire District Attorney David Capeless said a gun found in a locker at a local middle school last week was “fully loaded,” a statement that runs contrary to information fromthe mayor’s office, The Berkshire Eagle reported. He said he was “dismayed that the mayor’s office would release incorrect information.”

MICHIGAN Tyrone Township:

McDonald said. “They act like they are very sick. It causes them to have a high fever. That causes them to go water.”

Because of the tendency to gravitate to water, that is where deer that have died from the disease are often found.

Although hemorrhagic disease has a greater impact on the deer population in Mississippi than other diseases, the herd’s immune system has adapted to increase survival rates.

“Normally, if you have antibodies built up within the population, which we do in this state, it would have a lesser effect on those individuals,” McDonald said.

Analysts warn of 10% drop this year, with layoffs possible in 2016 Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

Wall Street’s famous bronze bull, which is rubbed by traders for good luck, could sure use some loving right now.

Big banks and brokerages slashed their bonus pools last quarter after pitiful trading activity led to double-digit revenue declines. Unless things turn around — and soon — Wall Streeters will see shrunken bonuses and possible layoffs, experts say.

“The sun could shine brightly the rest of the year, but most people would be quite surprised if that happened,” says Alan JohnMONEYLINE WESTERN DIGITAL ACQUIRES SANDISK FOR $19 BILLION Computer data storage giant Western Digital announced Wednesday it will acquire SanDisk, which specializes in flash-memory storage devices, for $19 billion. The deal values SanDisk at $86.50 per share, Western Digital says. Shares of SanDisk closed up 2.1% at $76.78, while Western Digital shares sank 4.6% to $71.44.

SUBWAY TO MEASURE SUBS AFTER LAWSUIT Subway is putting its “foot-long” subs up to a tape measure to guarantee they are actually what they advertise. The chain proposed measuring bread in response to a 2013 class-action suit alleging Subway served customers less food than they were paying for. While it denies the claims, Subway announced a proposed settlement Monday.

According to court documents, franchisees would be required to have a measurement tool in stores and adhere to regular inspections, including measuring a sampling of baked bread.

FERRARI STOCK SURGES AS IPO KICKS OFF TRADING Investors zoomed into Ferrari stock during the luxury brand’s initial public offering Wednesday as the stock jumped after the opening bell. The maker of exotic cars, which is being spun off from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, was priced to trade at $52 per share, but Ferrari’s stock came out of the gates at $60 and later closed the day at $55. Fiat Chrysler is selling about a tenth of its stake in the luxury sports car brand in an effort to raise funds to fuel its own product investments.

Johnson warned that bonuses could be down as much as 10% this year — followed by job cuts next year — if trends continue.

Wall Street’s woes started in August when investors became rattled by China’s unexpected move to devalue its currency. That, combined with uncertainty over the direction of U.S. interest rates, led investors to pull back from trading in bonds, currencies and commodities.

Wage growth may be accelerating more rapidly than government data has been showing.

Giant payroll processor ADP said Wednesday that the average hourly wages of job holders — employees in the same job for at least 12 months — rose 3.5% in the third quarter, up from 1.9% in the first quarter.

By contrast, the Labor Department said that average hourly earnings in September were up just 2.2% from a year ago, roughly in line with the sluggish 2% pace that has marked the recovery.

ADP’s report covers about 24 million U.S. employees whose employers contract with ADP to handle their payrolls, or about 20% of all private-sector workers.

A big reason the firm’s data show sharper pay increases is that it’s measuring raises for individual employees in the same jobs at least a year, says Sophia Koropeckyj, an economist at Moody’s Analytics, which helps ADP compile its figures.

The Labor Department averages wage growth from a sampling of employers across the economy.

As a result, average pay hikes have been tempered by the ongoing retirement of higher-paid Baby Boomers and the entry into the workforce of lower-paid Millennials, Koropeckyj says.

“We think (ADP) is more accurate,” Koropeckyj says, adding the pickup in wages is masked by demographic shifts in Labor’s data.

Job holders make up the vast majority of workers, ADP says.

Pay increases for job switchers — those changing jobs within the last year — are even higher at an average 6.5% the past 12 months.

Younger workers, who tend to switch jobs for better pay more readily, led the earnings gains in the third quarter, with 25- to 34year-olds snaring increases of 3.8%.

Among industries, manufacturing, which is struggling to find skilled workers, hoisted pay by 7.2%, ADP says.

Many economists have been puzzled by the lack of a pickup in wage growth in Labor’s data. The unemployment rate has fallen to a near-normal 5.1% from 10% in 2009, a development that should force employers to lift pay to attract a shrinking the pool of available workers. Some experts say many part-time workers who want full-time jobs and discouraged workers on the sidelines — groups not counted in the unemployment rate — have allowed businesses to keep a lid on raises.

ADP’s data may be skewed by the fact that companies that can afford its services are likely doing better than U.S. businesses overall and so are able to afford bigger raises. Still, the sharp rise in pay gains likely foreshadows a pickup in Labor’s data by early next year, Koropeckyj says.

Economist Jim O’Sullivan of High Frequency Economics, says “it’s plausible” ADP is more accurately capturing faster pay growth. But he’s skeptical that demographic changes have curbed the pay gains measured by Labor given that trend has been occurring for years.

plunge in non-interestbearing revenue in the third quarter, which led to an 18% decline in compensation and benefits.

Goldman Sachs slashed compensation and benefits by 16% amid an 18% drop in non-interest-bearing revenue. And JPMorgan Chase reported a 7% decline in compensation due to an 11% drop in revenue tied to activities like trading and investment banking.

There’s still a slim chance of record payouts if business turns around. That’s because, for the first nine months of the year, bonus pools at the largest banks and brokerages were largely on par

with where they had been during the same period last year, which proved to be a bonanza.

At JPMorgan and Goldman, for example, compensation expenses through September were down 1% from the same period in 2014.

Morgan Stanley, which suffered some of the biggest losses from rocky trading in August and September, said compensation and benefit expenses fell 3%.

“Bonuses, like profits, are going to hinge on the fourth quarter,” says Kenneth Bleiwas, deputy comptroller for the state of New York.

Bank executives have already warned that the problems plaguing the third quarter continue to linger.

A wave of digital financial crimes was traced to a shadowy ring of “thumb bandits” who gained access to corporate and high-end individual bank accounts around the world, unlocking hundreds of millions of dollars in treasure as well as cyber secrets that could compromise national security, federal authorities said this week.

The ring, believed to operate out of Silicon Valley and which leaves a mysterious thumbs-up icon at the scene of many of its biggest crimes, uses biometric technology to gain access to wellprotected mobile bank accounts, thumbpad-activated deposit boxes, Bloomberg financial terminals, even the ubiquitous iPhone.

A rash of illegal

“thumb muggings” is at the heart of the scheme, with hundreds of people reporting being zapped unconscious by their mobile phones while in the hospital, only to wake up with a bloody stump where their right or left thumb used to be.

Sound crazy? It certainly was in the late 1980s, when screenwriter Bob Gale envisioned a futuristic world in 2015 for his Back to the Future series, inhabited by thumb bandits who committed crimes with stolen thumbs used to operate locks and appliances.

While three decades later most of us still use good old-fashioned keys or key cards to enter our homes and offices, biometric security is quickly becoming the

norm as technology develops.

And the concept that it could be used to access financial accounts is as simple as activating your Twitter feed.

While thumb amputations still seem a bit, well, Hollywood, the idea of stealing or counterfeiting biometric characteristics is not out of the realm of criminal thought. The BlackBerry revolution of the late 1990s was a giant step in the human evolutionary process, one in which we became capable of using our thumbs to communicate and survive.

Previous thumb use — confined to hitchhiking, green thumbs, thumbs in the eye, Fonzie-like thumbs-up mating attempts and the ubiquitous Facebook “like” button — could only take us so far. Now, great novels can be written with thumbs. Journalists thumb from the front lines. Drones flown by pilot thumbs can bomb terrorists thousands of miles away. Great ships of war can be directed across video game screens and seas of virtual reality. And, of course, we initiate banking transactions, access airline tickets and summon Uber rides with them.

Thumb prints at your local police station are now used by Little League baseball teams to vet the records of potential coaches for children. The “Global Entry” system for entering the U.S. from outside its borders hinges on finger recognition, though not thumbs. “Fat finger” trades have disrupted stock markets and just this week caused Deutsche Bank to announce it had mistakenly sent $6 billion to a hedge fund client. Indeed, the criminal opportunity for counterfeit, or stolen, thumbs and assorted digits seems bigger every day.

Thumb branding, popular as a way of identifying criminals in 18th-century England, could be revived, perhaps as a fashion fad in today’s tattoo-obsessed culture. Thumb farms could sprout, using DNA technology to grow a sinister army of cyber outlaws, perhaps known as the Rule of Thumb, with the ability to access all but the smallest financial portals. The Rolling Stones song Under My Thumb could be its anthem.

What Gale envisioned, viewed now from the prism of the future, might still seem as crazy now as it did then. But after all we’ve lived through that has come true since the movie series, we’d be silly to, uh, thumb our noses at it.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

After a big rally, the U.S. stock market is running into “resistance,” a Wall Street term that describes what is akin to a price ceiling the market has trouble cracking after finding buyers there in the past.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 has rallied about 9% since its late August low. But the easy money off the bottom of its first 10%-plus price correction already has been made. Now the benchmark largecompany stock index has stalled out around prior price levels that launched rallies in the past.

After a relatively unchanged session Wednesday, which left the S&P 500 trading around 2,020, the index is again stumbling at a key resistance level: the

Learn from your mistake and diversify portfolio Q: I’ve lost 50% on two stocks. What now?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Now you know the risk of buy-andholding individual stocks. The best thing to do now is to not repeat this mistake.

In your note, you explained you’ve lost more than half of your money on computer chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices and also video-game maker Zynga. Both of these stocks have been wealth shredders. You paid $6 a share for AMD, which is now trading for about $2 a share. And you paid $4 for Zynga, which is trading for about $2 a share, too.

When you’re down this much on stocks, there’s not really a happy ending.

A tax preparer would suggest you sell the stocks by the end of the year so you can at least take the capital losses for this tax year.

Just remember you’ll have to wait more than 30 days before you buy them back — although it’s hard to imagine why you’d want to own them again — or you risk triggering the wash-sale rule and precluding you from taking the loss.

The key is learning from this mistake.

When buying individual stocks, you are speculating and need to behave accordingly. Selling individual stocks when they fall more than 10% from your buy point is a good adage. Otherwise, diversify by buying a broad index. That way you can buy-and-hold as your risk is spread over a variety of companies and sectors.

EU: Starbucks and Fiat profited from illegal tax breaks Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

The European Union demanded Wednesday that coffee chain Starbucks ) and automaker Fiat each repay up to $34 million they received in tax breaks from Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

The ruling, which follows an investigation launched last year by the European Commission — the 28-nation bloc’s executive arm — could mean that global multinationals will face fewer options when they look for countries with favorable tax deals.

Wednesday’s decision applies to tax breaks given to Starbucks and Fiat as a result of what the EU called “artificial and complex” tax methodologies.

“Tax rulings that artificially reduce a company’s tax burden are not in line with EU state aid rules.

They are illegal,” EU antitrust Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said in a statement. “I hope that, with today’s decisions, this message will be heard by member state governments and companies alike.”

“Starbucks complies with all OECD rules, guidelines and laws and supports its tax reform process,” he said. “Starbucks has paid an average global effective tax rate of roughly 33%, well above the 18.5% average rate paid by other large U.S. companies,” he said.

The Dutch government said it was “surprised” by the ruling because the arrangement was in line with international standards.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

“Hoverboards seem to be on the edge of actually becoming a reality. Flying cars? I don’t know — that’s complicated.”

MORE CULTURE HITS FROM ‘FUTURE’ TIMES What else was huge in 1985? USA TODAY’s Patrick Ryan and Eli Blumenthal recall other pop culture milestones from the year that ‘Back to the Future’ hit theaters:

MOVIES

‘Back to the Future’ was the year’s highest-grossing film, earning $189.8 million ($210.6 million total) and spending nearly 40 weeks in theaters. When ‘Future’ opened July 3, 1985, it went up against Arnold Schwarzenegger’s fantasy flop ‘Red Sonja.’

The first week of July, Phil Collins’ ‘Sussidio’ unseated Bryan Adams’ ‘Heaven’ for No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Other chart-toppers that summer included Duran Duran’s ‘A View to a Kill,’ Tears for Fears’ ‘Shout’ and Huey Lewis’ ‘The Power of Love,’ which was written for ‘Back to the Future.’

HOW WAS YOUR DAY? GOOD DAY ADELE FANS The singer has posted a note on her Facebook page confirming she has a new album coming out.

Adele writes that her last record, 2011’s ‘21,’ was a “break-up record,” and the new collection of songs is a “make-up record.” Possibly hinting at the title, she wrote, “25 is about getting to know who I’ve become without realising.

And I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened.”

No official title or release date was specified.

MICHAEL MONDAY FOR USA TODAY

CHRISTOPHER LLOYD DIDN’T ANTICIPATE THIS

‘FUTURE’

Patrick Ryan

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY

It’s been three decades since he went Back to the Future as kooky scientist “Doc” Emmett Brown, but Christopher Lloyd still can’t lose the lab coat.

After sequels in 1989 and 1990, Lloyd voiced Doc in an animated TV spinoff of the same name and Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken, and made a character cameo in last year’s A Million Ways to Die in the West. Even now, he’ll call up famous lines for fans on the street.

“People always want to hear ‘Great Scott!’ and ‘Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads,’ ” Lloyd, 77, says with a smile. “I’m happy to do it.”

Not only is this year the sci-fi trilogy’s 30th anniversary, it also marks a prophetic milestone for fans. In Back to the Future Part II, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) time-travels to Oct. 21, 2015, where sneakers tie themselves, moviegoers devour Jaws 19 and the Chicago Cubs win their first World Series since 1908. In one scene, a bully’s “hoverboard rampage” is the top headline on a futuristic Oct. 22 edition of USA TODAY, which uses a drone to snap photos.

Of all the movie’s seemingly unattainable gadgets, “hoverboards seem to be on the edge of

TV

New and notable TV included the debuts of ‘MacGyver,’ ‘The Golden Girls,’ ‘Growing Pains’ and ‘Larry King Live.’ Top-rated returning shows included ‘The Cosby Show,’ ‘Family Ties’ and ‘Murder, She Wrote.’ ‘Future’ arrived the week that ‘The Jeffersons’ ended its run, having tallied 11 seasons and more than 250 episodes.

BOOKS

Stephen King notched three books on ‘The New York Times’ fiction best-sellers list in 1985: ‘The Talisman’ (co-written with Peter Straub), ‘Thinner’ (under the pseudonym Richard Bachman) and ‘Skeleton Crew.’

actually becoming a reality,” Lloyd says. “Flying cars? I don’t know — that’s complicated.”

Fans certainly shouldn’t cross their fingers for a dimensionbending coupe like Doc’s DeLorean, which was introduced in Robert Zemeckis’ first Back to the Future on July 3, 1985. Making a star of Fox and becoming the highest-grossing film of that year ($210.6 million to date), the riproaring trilogy has remained a pop-culture touchstone ever since and was re-released as a DVD/Blu-ray box set this week.

Future has endured because it’s “entertaining, funny and crazy,” but also because of its relatable themes and emotional resonance, says Lea Thompson, who played Marty’s mother, Lorraine.

“I really do believe the central construct is that one moment of courage can change your entire life,” Thompson says. “The idea of doing the right thing, to protect someone you love. To kiss someone and know that they are not right for you. To put an end to bullying. Whatever it is that happens in the movie, it’s a powerful lesson to teach your children.”

As for the possibility of a fourth Future, Lloyd says he would consider it — but only if the original cast and creative team returned, and there was a story worth telling.

“There’s always the danger of sequels not living up to the original, so it’d have to be momentous and current: dealing with ISIS or climate change or something radical and have a real urgency to it. I don’t know what that would be.”

In July, Commodore released its Amiga personal computer. It cost $1,595 and featured 256 KB of RAM — .0001% of what is in Apple’s iPhone 6S. Later that year, Microsoft released Windows 1.0 ($99), which was poorly received for being slow. In its review, ‘The New York Times’ likened it to “pouring molasses in the Arctic.”

PRODUCTS

In July, Coca-Cola Classic returned after consumers overwhelmingly rejected New Coke, which changed the soda’s formula. That September, Nintendo released ‘Super Mario Bros.’

In its recent list of the top 100 games of all time, videogame site IGN ranked it fourth.

Blue Jays slow Royals’ march to Series Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Zunica’s attitude just right for KU Michael Zunica’s introductory words to a man from whom he hoped to earn a job would not have been very well received had he spoken them to a human resources director or police officer, in a classroom or a courtroom.

“I love to hit people,” Zunica said.

Not to worry. A football coach, Kansas University offensive coordinator Rob Likens, was on the receiving end, so the music could not have been sweeter to his ears.

“He was pretty excited about it,” Zunica said, Zunica remembering the conversation that took place during summer camp. “He said that he was going to give me a shot. Once I told him I would like to maybe get in on the goal line and just go smack some linebackers for him and I told him I like to hit people, I think he was pretty ecstatic, but it’s just what I like to do. He was pumped up.

And I was pumped up too because that’s the position I’ve been wanting to play for quite a while.”

It’s the position he most enjoyed playing for St. Rita High in Palos Park, Illinois, near Chicago. From there he redshirted a year at Columbia and transferred to KU as a walk-on fullback and sat out a year. He quickly switched to linebacker at KU and played mostly on special teams last season.

He explained what it is he loves about playing fullback, a different position than it was decades ago, when typical backfields had an inside runner at fullback and a speedier one at halfback. Now it’s almost exclusively a blocking job.

“I just love hitting people,” I love just trying to clear up some running lanes, trying to clear out some defensive ends, move some linebackers around, make life easier for De’Andre (Mann) and Taylor (Cox) and Ke’aun (Kinner).”

Zunica also blocks for quarterback Ryan Willis.

Asked if he would rather get smacked in the face really hard or have that happen to Willis, Zunica’s answer was predictable.

“Me, all day,” he said.

“That’s my job. I’m protecting Ryan. Whatever I can do to protect my guys from getting hit is what I’ll do.

I love blocking. It’s what I did in high school and it seems to come naturally to me, to try to hit people and move some people around.”

Did he mention he likes hitting people?

“Man, he’ll strike you,” first-year KU head coach David Beaty said of Zunica.

“That little ole dude will put his face on you, and you know, that’s most of it. If they won’t bite you when they’re young, they ain’t gonna bite you when

Toronto (ap) — If the Kansas City Royals are going to clinch a trip to their second straight World Series, it’ll happen in front of their home fans.

Marco Estrada made certain it didn’t happen in Canada.

After scoring 22 runs in the previous two games, the Royals were held in check

by Estrada, who came up with a superb start in the most important outing of his career, stopping Kansas City’s hit parade and helping the Toronto Blue Jays send the AL Championship Series back to Missouri.

Estrada pitched one-hit ball into the eighth inning, giving Toronto’s tattered bullpen a rest, and the Blue Jays beat the Royals, 7-1, on Wednesday to close to 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.

“Estrada threw a great game,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “We just couldn’t do anything offensively.”

Estrada faced the minimum 20 batters before Lorenzo Cain walked with two outs in the seventh. Closer Roberto Osuna was perfect in the ninth.

Toronto’s sharp pitching held Cain hitless, snapping

his team record 13-game hitting streak in the postseason.

Yordano Ventura will start for the defending AL champions on Friday in Game 6 against Toronto left-hander David Price, the Game 2 loser.

“We’re excited to go home,” Royals pitcher Danny Duffy said. “We wish we could have got it done today but we didn’t.”

Chris Young/The Canadian Press via AP Hosmer echoed Duffy’s TORONTO PITCHER MARCO ESTRADA, right, upbeat vibes.

“Nothing but positivity,” embraces catcher Dioner Navarro as Chris Hosmer said. “We’ve got a Colabello looks on after the Blue Jays beat Kansas City, 7-1, in Game 5 of the ALCS on Please see ROYALS, page 4C Wednesday in Toronto.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY PLAYERS, FROM LEFT, TIANA DOCKERY, CASSIE WAIT, Madison Rigdon, Anna Church, Tayler Soucie and Ainise Havili celebrate after scoring a point during the Jayhawks’ victory over Oklahoma on Wednesday night at Horejsi Center.

Jayhawks sweep Oklahoma, improve to 19-0

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s Cassie Wait and Tiana Dockery chased down the volleyball in the back corner early in the second set Wednesday night against Oklahoma and managed to avoid any carnage, as Wait stole the play away from Dockery, and sent a pass toward the net at Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

A couple of seconds later, KU’s Ainise Havili delivered a set above the net and Tay-

ler Soucie hammered home yet another KU point in a 2518, 25-22, 25-18 victory.

All Dockery and Wait could do was laugh as they briefly celebrated their lead and Dockery jokingly pushed Wait away.

The No. 7-ranked Jayhawks (19-0 overall, 7-0 Big 12) just don’t have many cares these days, as they find themselves rolling through the regular season. Not only are coach Ray Bechard’s Jayhawks undefeated — joining top-ranked USC as the only teams which can make

that claim — but they’re also rarely dropping a set. KU’s most recent win marked its 14th sweep of the season. Going set by set, Kansas has a record of 57-5.

“I’m surprised at our set record,” Bechard admitted, “but I think when you play hard and you play hard for each other, you’ve got an opportunity to do some pretty cool things.”

Junior libero Wait led Kansas with 23 digs against Oklahoma (7-12, 1-6), passed well and extended rallies. Sophomore Havili led the team, as

always, with 37 assists, and sophomore Kelsie Payne pounded 15 kills.

A senior, Dockery said Bechard has the Jayhawks achieving intense focus each and every set. As a result, they’re routinely beating their opponents to 25 points.

“We talk about it all the time, how crazy it is,” Dockery said of KU’s repeated 3-0 and 3-1 victories in 2015. “But I don’t think it’s really hit us that much yet. We’re just playing right now. But I feel Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 3C

Momentum tough to come by for KU football

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Call it false hope, fool’s gold or the this is why we can’t have nice things syndrome.

Whatever you dub it, it has become a heck of a pattern for Kansas University football during the past fiveplus seasons.

Despite KU’s dismal 12Please see KEEGAN, page 3C 53 record in the post-Mark

Mangino era (2010-present), there have been a few memorable victories and even more close calls against some of the Big 12’s best.

But while it’s easy to remember last year’s near upset of TCU or the Texas game at home that KU lost in the final 17 seconds a couple of years earlier, it’s much harder to remember what happened in the weeks that followed those close

calls. The reason? Most of those results are ones the Jayhawks would rather forget.

Here’s a quick look at the 10 most notable face plants since the start of the 2010 season, which, you could argue, actually began with KU following up a 5-0 start to the 2009 season with an 0-7 finish. n Sept. 17, 2010 — South-

all but guaranteed a Kansas loss. Just before halftime, the Eagles returned a blocked punt for a touchdown and took a 21-3 into halftime.

KU never recovered and never threatened in the second half. n Nov. 13, 2010 — Nebraska 20, Kansas 3: One week after a ridiculous fourth-quarter comeback at home beat Colorado, 52-45, the Jayhawks’ suddenly-highpowered offense went to Gill’s alma mater to face an offensively-challenged NU team playing with an injured quarterback. It didn’t matter. The Kansas offense, led by QB Quinn Mecham, managed just 87 yards on 47 plays, and the defense, though tough all night, just did not get enough rest to hold the Huskers down. n Sept. 17, 2011 — Georgia Tech 66, Kansas 24: One Saturday, the Jayhawks picked up a huge victory over bowl-bound Northern Illinois on their final offensive play of the game. The next, the Kansas defense was trounced by a Georgia Tech team that shattered several school records and wound up printing T-shirts to commemorate the occasion. Kansas’ offense did a decent job in the first quarter in Atlanta, but, with the defense looking like swiss cheese, KU simply could not keep up on the scoreboard. n Nov. 19, 2011 — Texas A&M 61, Kansas 7: For three quarters at home against Baylor, the Kansas defense had future Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III completely bottled up. But then someone tapped RGIII on the shoulder and he led a fourth-quarter comeback that led to a 31-30 overtime victory for the Bears.

Perhaps deflated by coming so close to such a huge upset, the Jayhawks barely even showed up the following week in College Station, where Ryan Tannehill torched the KU defense and the KU offense did not crack the scoreboard until the game’s final minute.

returned home for what was supposed to be a huge opportunity at a win on Senior Night in front of a fired-up home crowd.

Just before the game started, the Jayhawks changed out of their traditional blue uniforms and came back out wearing all black. It might as well have been all white, as in “we surrender.” Thirdstring ISU QB Sam Richardson, whom KU did not even have film on heading into the game, torched the Jayhawks to the tune of 23-of-27 passing for 250 yards, four touchdowns, another on the ground and an easy ISU victory.

The game went down as Richardson’s coming-out party and yet another huge disappointment for Kansas. n Oct. 5, 2013 — Texas Tech 54, Kansas 16: It probably should’ve been looked at as a sign of trouble at the time, but there was no disputing the excitement that came after Matthew Wyman drilled a 52-yard field goal to beat Louisiana Tech (1310) after an improbable stop by the KU defense in the game’s final minutes.

Rather than capitalizing on the momentum of that big kick and a 2-1 start, the Jayhawks returned to the very same field the next week and let Texas Tech have its way with them. This one was made worse by the fact that the Jayhawks raced out to a 10-0 first-quarter lead and John Young/Journal-World Photo then, in a little over a half, KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S JANAE HALL (16) AND TIANA DOCKERY, RIGHT, team up to shut down Oklahoma’s Kierra Hoist, left, were outscored 47-0 to with a block during the Jayhawks’ victory Wednesday night at Horejsi Center. set the final margin. n Nov. 23, 2013 — Iowa State 34, Kansas 0: Behind the hard running of James Sims and the spark ignited by the play of true-freshman quarterback Montell Cozart, the Jayhawks ended their Big 12 losing streak with a 31-19 home victory over West Virginia on Nov. 16. The win, in which KU thoroughly dominated, was supposed to be the springboard for a strong finish and some momentum heading into 2014. But instead, the very next week, on a bitterly cold night in Ames, Iowa, the Jayhawks were blanked by one-win Iowa State, which embarrassed the Jayhawks by running wild on an icy field. n Nov. 22, 2014 — Oklahoma 44, Kansas 7: After nearly shocking the college football world by putting a heck of a scare into national-title-contending TCU, the Jayhawks traveled south to take on an average Oklahoma team and walked away a part of history. OU running back Samaje Perine ran over, through and around the Kansas defense all afternoon on his way to an NCAA record 427 rushing yards that came against little resistance. The Jayhawks never put up a fight in this one and appeared to miss more tackles than they made.

n Oct. 20, 2012 — Oklahoma 52, Kansas 7: After a hard-fought 20-14 loss to Oklahoma State in miserably wet conditions, which featured James Sims unofficially laying claim to the title of the Big 12’s best running back, the Jayhawks traveled to the Sooner State to take on OU the following week and never had a chance.

Led by Landry Jones and an unstoppable aerial attack, OU ran the Jayhawks out of the building early.

KU swept four Big 12

matches in a row before dropping the second set at Baylor on Oct. 14. Crazy as it sounds, Dockery said such hiccups actually jumpstart the Jayhawks.

“It kind of brings us back together,” the senior from Richmond, Texas, said, “brings our focus back together.”

Payne recalled KU “panicked” a little bit in Waco, Texas.

“But we were like, ‘You know what? It’s OK. Things happen. They’re playing really well. We can play better,’” Payne said.

According to Bechard, KU’s players don’t get

angry when they allow another team to win a set.

They simply try to play as close to their ceiling as possible and realize doing so will give them a good chance to keep up their spectacular run.

The Jayhawks play at No. 2 Texas (17-1, 7-0) Friday night.

Mason all business on court “I think about it all the time,” he said of a 78-65 setback to WSU in Omaha in which he had 16 points, one assist and five turnovers in 29 minutes.

“Right now I’m just trying to focus on the season.

(But) I definitely have flashbacks of that game.

Stuff happens. We weren’t at our best then.

T h e y were the better team and got the Mason win.”

Mason had a stellar sophomore season in averaging 12.6 points, second best mark on the team. He also dished 142 assists against 74 tunovers while leading the squad in minutes played (33.2 per contest).

For his efforts, he earned second-team all-Big 12 honors.

“Honestly I don’t care about all-Big 12 firstteam, second team, honorable mention, none of that. I just want to win every game we play,” Mason said. “We’ll try our hardest to work hard to do whatever coach (Bill Self) wants to give us the

best chance to be successful. All that other stuff doesn’t matter to me.”

Mason’s on-court production combined with his focus and intensity make him the obvious choice for team leader again this season.

“You have to have a guy that’s really vocal out there and a great leader to get everyone going, everyone motivated,” said the no-nonsense Mason, who admits his biggest joy is keeping up with his family back home in Virginia.

“My son is doing good,” he said of Amari, who is in pre-kindergarten. “He just started school. We’re pretty excited about that.

I definitely do miss home.

I miss all my family, miss my son, his mother, everyone. I am really sad sometimes thinking about him knowing I’m hours away.

I try to look at the bigger picture, stay positive. I’m always thinking about the things I can control. I do Facetime with him, just to see that face and get me in a better mood.”

And get him smiling, he might have added. l Recruiting talk: Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-8, 210-pound senior power forward from Gilbert

(Arizona) Christian High, will announce his college choice at 3 p.m., Central time, Saturday, at the 2015 Arizona Preps Fall Showcase in Glendale, Arizona. The finalists for Rivals.com’s 117th-rated player nationally are KU, Arizona, St. John’s, Utah and Stanford with many recruiting analysts believing KU will win out over U of A. Lightfoot averaged 17.9 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.9 blocks a game last year for state champion Gilbert.

“Lightfoot is an attractive recruit not only because he is able to stretch the defense with his ability to hit threepointers, but because of his toughness and quickness around the rim. He is a strong defender who anticipates well and has a nasty streak that coaches love,” writes Richard Obert of azcentral.com.

Also this weekend, Jarrett Allen, a 6-9 senior forward from St. Stephens Episcopal School in Austin, Texas, who is ranked No. 20 nationally, will make an official visit to KU. He is also considering Notre Dame, Houston, Indiana, Kansas State, Kentucky, North Carolina and Texas.

That’s all right. Zunica doesn’t seek easy jobs.

The TV cameras and still lenses don’t often catch Frank Mason III smiling on the basketball court.

“I always keep the same face no matter what happens. That’s just me. I’ll try to smile more maybe this year. I don’t know,” Mason, KU’s 5-foot-11 junior point guard from Petersburg, Virginia said, his voice trailing off.

Mason pinpointed the reason he rarely grins after made baskets or alley oop passes to his teammates for highlight-reel slams.

“I’m just thinking about winning — the final score every game. That’s what goes through my mind,” Mason said. “I want to win every game. No matter what happens or how the game is going, I want to win.”

KU has won 52 games against 19 losses and snared a pair of Big 12 regular-season titles in his first two years at KU. However, the Jayhawks are just 2-2 in the NCAA Tournament in that span, last March suffering a defeat to Wichita State in the third round.

Mets wrap NL crown The Associated Press

Chicago — One final, charmed swing by Daniel Murphy, and the New York Mets finished a playoff sweep of the Chicago Cubs.

A new generation of Amazins is heading to the World Series.

Murphy homered for a record sixth consecutive postseason game and the Mets brushed aside the Cubs, 8-3, on Wednesday night, capping a National League Championship Series in which New York never trailed.

Lucas Duda hit a threerun homer in the first inning and a two-run double in the second, silencing a sellout crowd of 42,227 at Wrigley Field desperately hoping for the beginning of an epic comeback in Game 4.

Not this time. Not with New York’s array of power arms, and Murphy swinging a hot stick that made him the MVP of the matchup.

Manager Terry Collins’ team advanced to the World Series for the first time since they lost to the crosstown Yankees in five games in 2000. They will face Toronto or Kansas City in Game 1 on Tuesday night — the Royals lead 3-2 in the ALCS. The Cubs, meanwhile, still haven’t won the crown since 1908. Manager Joe Maddon’s wildcard bunch surged into this series, but was overmatched.

When Dexter Fowler looked at a called third strike for the final out, Jeurys Familia dropped to his knees in front of the mound and then hopped up for a hug from catcher Travis d’Arnaud. They were soon joined by the rest of their jubilant teammates in the infield grass at Wrigley Field.

A small, but vocal group of New York fans behind the visiting dugout then chanted “Let’s go, Mets!

Let’s go, Mets!”

Right when it looked as if his historic streak was coming to an end, Murphy connected for a tworun drive to center against Fernando Rodney in the eighth inning. The second baseman raised his right arm as he rounded first after his seventh homer of the playoffs.

Murphy, who was tied with Carlos Beltran for the postseason homer streak, finished with four hits and batted .529 (9 for 17).

Bartolo Colon pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings for his first playoff win since 2001, for Cleveland at Seattle. The 14 years, 12 days between postseason victories for the 42-year-old right-hander snapped the major league record of exactly 14 years for Milt Wilcox, according to STATS. Colon, who made 31 starts this season, replaced rookie Steven Matz with two out in the fifth and runners on first and second. He struck out Kris Bryant swinging on a 3-2 pitch, preserving New York’s 6-1 lead.

Bryant hit a two-run homer in the eighth, but it was way too late for Chicago in its first appearance in the NLCS in 12 years.

The Cubs shut out Pittsburgh in the wild-card game and eliminated rival St. Louis in the division series, but were unable to mount much of a challenge against the Mets’ talented pitching staff.

BRIEFLY Sub-state v-ball pairings set The Kansas High School Activity Association released volleyball sub-state schedules on Wednesday.

Free State High (22-16) earned a No. 5 seed in the Washburn Rural regional and will face fourth-seeded Manhattan (22-13) on Saturday at Washburn Rural. The winner will face top-seeded Wichita East (33-5) or No. 8-seed Wichita Southeast (4-29) in the sub-state finals.

Free State’s match against Manhattan will begin 20 minutes after the end of Wichita East-Wichita Southeast’s match, which begins at 1 p.m.

Lawrence High (8-27) was seeded seventh and will face second-seeded Blue Valley West (33-4) at 5 p.m. Saturday at LHS. The winner faces Olathe East (28-9) or Shawnee

Mission Northwest (8-26).

In Class 2A, Bishop Seabury (23-14) was seeded third and will face sixthseeded Burlingame (13-15) on Saturday at Lyndon, with a start time still to be determined.

SKC falls, 2-0 Kansas City, Kan. — Dillon Powers and Marcelo Sarvas scored late goals and Colorado beat Sporting Kansas City, 2-0, on Wednesday night for their first road victory in the series since 2002.

Powers chipped goalkeeper Tim Melia at the end of a counter attack in the 78th minute and, after Colorado was reduced to 10 men, Sarvas powered in a shot on another breakaway in the 86th.

Colorado snapped a six-game winless streak.

Sporting KC needs to beat Los Angeles on Sunday to secure a playoff spot.

3-2 lead and we’re heading back to Kansas City.

That’s where we play our best baseball so everyone is still feeling pretty good.”

Toronto is trying to become just the 13th team of 80 that trailed 3-1 in best-of-seven postseason series to rally and win.

It has happened four of 17 times in the LCS, including when the Royals bounced back against the Blue Jays in 1985 en route to Kansas City’s only World Series title.

In this year’s best-offive Division Series, Toronto lost the first two games before winning three straight against Texas.

“They didn’t let anything slide by today,” Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas said.

“They earned that W.” Troy Tulowitzki broke the game open with a three-run double off Kelvin Herrera in the sixth, giving him seven RBIs in the series. Edwin Encarnacion had walked with the bases loaded against Edinson Volquez, who seemed flustered by close calls that didn’t go his way.

Estrada, a 32-year-old right-hander, enabled his

away, down and in. He didn’t miss many pitches.”

Before 49,325 roaring fans at Rogers Centre, Chris Colabello’s solo homer into the left-field seats in the second gave Estrada a lead.

Estrada didn’t make a miscue until Salvador Perez homered with two outs in the eighth. Estrada retired his first nine batters, ending at four Escobar’s record streak of leading off playoff games with hits.

Escobar, who entered 9 for 15 (.600), collected Kansas City’s first hit when he opened the fourth with a groundball single past a diving Tulowitzki at shortstop. Ben Zobrist promptly grounded into a double play.

Kansas City had no other runners until Cain walked with two outs in the seventh. Price got up in the bullpen after that free pass, but Estrada got Hosmer to fly out.

Volquez, who won Game 1, allowed just two singles after Colabello connected but lost the strike zone in the sixth.

“I lost my rhythm a little bit,” Volquez said.

Ben Revere led off with a walk and Volquez hit Josh Donaldson with the first pitch. In August, Volquez hit Donaldson in a testy game that included a benches-clearing scrum.

Volquez then walked Jose Bautista in a 10-pitch at-bat on a pitch that looked to get a piece of the plate.

“I thought the pitch to Bautista was definitely a strike,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Escobar threw up his hands at plate umpire Dan Iassogna’s call on Bautista.

“For me, from shortstop, that’s a strike,” Escobar said. “I don’t know if right behind home plate they see it different but from shortstop it looked like a strike.”

Encarnacion walked on another pitch that upset Volquez and Yost.

Volquez turned his back to Iassogna as Revere jogged home for a 2-0 lead. It was his last batter.

“They didn’t hit me very hard today,” Volquez said. “I got into trouble myself walking a couple of guys.”

Herrera relieved and struck out Colabello.

With the crowd chanting “Tu-lo! Tu-lo!” Tulowitzki cleared the bases with a double off the wall in center, sending fans into a towel-waving frenzy.

Bautista and Donaldson had consecutive doubles off Duffy in the seventh to make it 6-0, and Kevin Pillar doubled home a run in the eighth.

TCU, Baylor, OSU at top of Big 12 class

By Stephen Hawkins AP Sports Writer

Second-ranked Baylor and fourth-ranked TCU have reached the midpoint in the Big 12 Conference with perfect grades in the form of undefeated records.

While the Bears and Horned Frogs are again at the head of the class, as expected after sharing the title last season, 14thranked Oklahoma State also has no check marks in the loss column. And No. 17 Oklahoma quickly corrected its unexpected setback with a 55-0 win over Kansas State, the largest shutout in any Big 12 Conference game since 2008.

Their worst loss in 25 years left the Wildcats 0-3 in the Big 12, along with West Virginia and Kansas.

Here are progress re-

ports for every Big 12 team going into the second half of the regular season, when Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and TCU all go head-to-head in November: TCU (7-0, 4-0 Big 12): Playing three of their first four league games on the road, the Frogs survived.

Aaron Green had a diving fourth-down TD catch in the final minute at Texas Tech, and they overcame an 18-point halftime deficit at K-State. Heisman contenders Trevone Boykin and Josh Doctson still have to cross the Red River twice to play the Oklahoma teams, but host Baylor the day after Thanksgiving.

Baylor (6-0, 3-0): Again the nation’s best offense, Baylor has scored at least 55 points in every game playing one of the softest power-five conference schedules. It

builds up to a three-week November stretch when the Bears host Oklahoma, before going to Oklahoma State and TCU. Seth Russell has an FBS-best 27 touchdown passes, and Corey Coleman already has set a single-season Baylor record with 16 TD catches.

Oklahoma State (6-0, 3-0): The Cowboys still have their stiffest tests ahead of them, though TCU, Baylor and Oklahoma all play in Stillwater.

They were undefeated as expected against a weak non-conference schedule, but their three Big 12 wins have been by a combined 12 points.

Oklahoma (5-1, 2-1): Former Texas Tech quarterback transfer Baker Mayfield and new offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley have been a good mix for Oklahoma, along with the emergence of

some other receivers to help Sterling Shepard.

Cornerbacks Zack Sanchez, the established standout, and rising star Jordan Thomas each have three interceptions. The only loss was to Texas.

Texas Tech (5-2, 2-2): After opening Big 12 play with losses to TCU and Baylor, Texas Tech has since matched its conference win total from a year ago and surpassed its 2014 overall win total.

The Red Raiders, who play their first 11 games without a break, still face five teams that beat them last season.

Iowa State (2-4, 1-2): The Cyclones are exactly where most expected them to be, which is bad news for embattled coach Paul Rhoads. Unlike 2014, Iowa State has won a Big 12 game. But since winning their league opener over Kansas, the Cy-

clones have losses by 35 and 24 points, and now go to Baylor. Iowa State’s last winning season was 2009, Rhoads’ first in Ames.

Texas (2-4, 1-2): Second-year coach Charlie Strong’s team had an enjoyable visit to the State Fair of Texas with a win over Oklahoma before last week’s open date. While maybe a program-turning victory, the last Big 12 team to play in a national championship game (six seasons ago) still has a lot of work to do to avoid consecutive losing seasons for the first time since 1988-89.

Kansas State (3-3, 0-3): Before that lopsided loss at home, the Wildcats had blown halftime leads in backto-back losses — after winning 49 consecutive games when ahead at

the break. A three-week stretch really hard to explain for coach Bill Snyder and his team. K-State won four in a row after their 0-3 league start two years ago.

West Virginia (3-3, 0-3): After winning all its non-conference games, West Virginia has lost three consecutive games against ranked Big 12 teams — and headed to fourth-ranked TCU after an open date this weekend. Quarterback Skyler Howard has eight turnovers in Big 12 play.

Kansas (0-6, 0-3): A young team with a firstyear coach going through the expected growing pains. After giving Texas Tech a late scare, the Jayhawks play three of their next four games on the road. The home game is against Oklahoma, who has beaten them 10 consecutive times.

Big Ten coaches see downside of social media Des Moines, Iowa (ap) — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz banned his players from Twitter once he realized the potential pitfalls of social media.

Some of his Big Ten colleagues might start thinking that Ferentz is on to something.

The downside to social media again became apparent last weekend.

Michigan athletic director Jim Hackett released an open letter on Sunday urging fans to avoid “thoughtless comments� following Michigan State’s last-play 27-23 win over the Wolverines.

Much of negative on-

line chatter focused on Michigan punter Blake O’Neill, whose fumble led to the game-winning touchdown for the Spartans. “It’s very disappointing. But it’s the world we’re living in right now, too. People tend to attack other people via social media,� Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said. “It’s just one play. It should not define a person.�

Unlike Ferentz, most Big Ten coaches have accepted social media as a fact of life for themselves and their players.

Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald is one

of the more active Big Ten coaches on Twitter.

Fitzgerald said he uses social media to “spread the good news� about the Wildcats and interact with fans. Fitzgerald said dealing with “trolls� is part of his job.

But Fitzgerald had some strong word for what he dubbed “haters� who took to their computers and phones to bash O’Neill. “I feel sorry for those people. I really do,�

Fitzgerald said. “Every young man is trying to go out there and make a play and do what’s right.

When that doesn’t go

right, nobody feels worse than that young person.

As a coach, that’s where you try and step in and give them everything you can and try to be supportive of them.�

First-year Nebraska coach Mike Riley had to deal with the dangers of social media earlier this season from the other side.

Cornhuskers offensive lineman and team caption Alex Lewis, after committing three penalties in a heartbreaking loss at Miami, lashed out on Facebook at fans who blamed him for the defeat.

Lewis posted that he

was going to prove to himself and his family that he’s “better than these fair-weather fans.�

Riley talked to Lewis about the posts, which were quickly deleted, but he didn’t punish him.

Riley said he’s spoken at length with his players about being smart on social media, though he acknowledged that it’s a “tough world that way.� “If I could shield it from them, I would. And when they use it, I always encourage them to use it in some way to build up their school, their team and their teammates — and certainly don’t get into

anything that’s a response or try to defend. Because it really doesn’t do much good,� Riley said.

Dantonio mirrored the thoughts of many in the league who are frustrated by those who take things to “an extreme� on social media. “That’s a shame. I feel bad for him. I feel bad for his family that they had to go through that stress.

The kid dropped a punt, all right? I understand that,� Purdue coach Darrell Hazell said. “But nobody should need to go through death threats, if that’s really what’s happening.�
